MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Representative Michelle Bachmann said on Monday she has filed the paperwork to formally enter the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

Bachmann announced the move during the first major debate of Republican presidential contenders, which was held in New Hampshire, which holds an important early contest on the road to the nomination.

"I filed today my paperwork to seek the presidency of the United States," she said in the early going of the encounter with six other presidential contenders.

3. tried to watch the debate
Heard her say that..then a questioner asked about repealing the health care law..she promised she would. Was done after that. I hope middleclass America is seeing that all these pathetic excuses for leaders will do is nothing but more of the same and worse.

16. Is it 2505 already?
I feel so guilty thinking about the puerile movie, Idiocracy. But it seems to apply.

It's a tragic comedy.

17. Did she supply her birth certificate with the paper work?
It is mind boggling that the FEC does not require these candidates to file their birth certificates with the campaign junk. After all there is a birth and age requirement for the office as per the constitution. I sure hope that all of them are ready to produce their proof of US citizenship and age.

21. At one point during tonight's debate, when asked about DODT, she said
she would have to consult with her commanders in chief.

I thought people were joking about Reagan, and thought after the debate w Al Gore that Bush was toast. For those reasons and others, this woman scares the socks off me, but I am sure we can beat her. Who would have thought being stupid would go from a negative to a requirement?

So the (smarter) people of her district may have the chance to get a voice in Congress for once!

24. Good god. It just occurred to me... what if she WON!?
And Hillary just sitting on the sidelines watching.

It would be the end of women in politics for a long time.

Maybe men too.
